If these synths have the same output and DACs as the BlackBox don't let the size fool you, these are VERY BIG sounding synths with the best sound possible. I own a BlackBox and I was completely shocked on the high sound quality of the samples I played in and manipulated then output via a keyboard.

Another great demonstration video, Bo, always love your take on new instruments. I’m a huge fan of granular Synthesis, but apart from the Tasty Chips GR1 - yeah, too rich for my blood at about $2,499US - there haven’t been many hardware granular synths to choose from. At $399US for a brand new one, I may take the plunge. I’ve been streamlining my studio for space and workflow, but looks as if this little beauty will fit anywhere.

An informative review. Thanks Bo.

@planetplex 2 года назад

Love your vids Bo and this is another great review! Unfortunately I personally don’t see these as a great product. Although I’m sure I would have fun with them the price doesn’t make any sense. There are many phone apps that do the same functions even better than this for a fraction of the cost. Now I would much more enjoy something like this but it has to offer something more unique and the price should be at the most 150. The Bastle boxes and the Pocket Operators and similar products may be on a different level when it comes to production quality but that’s the charm of them and at there price range it’s hard to resist. There is so many other things I’d like to get at that price range. Like the sp 404 mkii or the 2 new eurorack Buchla modules. Plus the colors and design are really not very appealing at all. I’m glad you reviewed this though because I think it’s worth getting a good look at first before making a decision!

@BoBeats 2 года назад

Thank you! I am glad if I helped you see that its not for you. I think this product might have a small audience that really wants the small form factor and sound, but it definitely doesnt have the mass appeal of some other synths.

Great comparison video! They both sound very polished. I guess I am more the wavetable guy, so the Fireball? But seriously 1010? 450 EUR??? You can get a Polyend Tracker for that money which offers a Granular AND a wavetable synth. At 199 EUR this would be kind of a good deal.

@Frozirra 2 года назад

Polyend tracker’s “granular” is shit bro, not even real granular. 1 grain granular is just a sampler. If you want a budget granular I’d waitlist for plinky tbh. IMO the only true hardware granular synths out atm are the tasty chips GR-1 and the microgranny (really Lo-Fi and budget).

Lemondrop is a no-brainer if you want hardware granular synthesis and aren’t willing to up your budget to GR-1 level, or if you’re size-constrained in the studio. My Tracker has made me curious about granular synthesis, so I may well get a lemondrop. Fireball is fine, but there’s a lot of wavetable options, so not so compelling.

These are absolutely adorable. But for that price you can buy an iPad (US$329 for 10” 64GB base model) and have money left over to buy several great music apps like Tardigrade (granular), NanoStudio (wavetable / VA / samples / sequencer / DAW), Mononoke (weird Lyra-8-like) … No hardware knobs or buttons, but the screen is much bigger and higher resolution, it’s got way more storage, and obviously you can install zillions more music apps most of which cost under $20. So I really don’t see the value in one of these, sadly.

I'll be purchasing a lemon drop later in the year for sure. But i really dont know why they dont add battery options to their devices.

I dont have much experience with granular so this looks like a good entry point. I'm happy to see it cheaper than blackbox and bluebox.

@@zoiksandmorezoiks2719 The microKorg has a standard MIDI out, should work fine, the adaptor is included with the Lemondrop, you'd just need a standard 5 pin MIDI cable.

Finally, running the output of the Lemondrop to your pedal board shouldn't pose any problems, I've been processing line level synths through pedals for almost three decades without any issues, only thing, you may need to turn the synth volume down a bit to avoid clipping, unless that's what you want, lol!

One other missed opportunity that might be addressable with a firmware update is number of envelopes and LFOs. I am not sure which parameters are modulation targets, but hopefully effects parameters are targets. I guess we can't expect everything in a small package. Besides battery power, I would like to see power from a non-USB external supply. MIDI over USB would be useful, too. As for pluses, they units are small and cute, sound great based on the videos that dropped today, and appear to be good pairings for the BlackBox and BlueBox. I wonder if there will be Eurorack module versions?

I would wish for future versions of those synths a USB Device connectivity, so that you can plug in a USB keyboard (I think of Qunexus or other tiny things). Since both are little computers (Raspberrys ?) that should be easily possible, even on the current hardware, if the USB port is internally not detached. We could then connect via an OTG connection or something like that.
